   I've heard that not everybody can see the images I'm posting.
Is it the website I'm using (postimage) ?
I've tried imgur but just get a blank screen (I'm using a MacBook)
Is it any better if I use imgbb to host the image ?
or am I doing something else wrong ?

	Your image is fine on my system. If the image is missing on your computer then just click on the image icon and ask it to open in a new tab and ... as if by magic, you can see the posted image. Some gremlin in the works no doubt. Les
	It's more than just paper

	I thought I'd try and summarise where we are with the Death of Stamps sheet (only single or groups of stamps are available in the mixed bags of Halloween stamps) I have these stamps but can only be sure of the position of these stamps from their selvage. Those without selvage are hopefully in the right place but it would be great if anyone can add/confirm any of this. Steve has this stamp which is the missing top left corner (row1col1) and (having purchased some more mixed bags) I now have this piece of the puzzle confirming that this stamp at row2col1 is the same image as row1col1 and row3col1. So we are a step closer to solving his puzzle,

	The Mixed Bags of Halloween stamps sometimes contains Franked Stamps (like the Death of stamps that I received in 2024) In 2020 Franks in Red and Green ink were used on the Hand Of Fate Stamps (first issued in 2019) and one of the joys of receiving post from the FarFetchedPhilately shop is that the envelopes often have not only the boring Royal Mail labels but also stamps from the All Hallows Post Office. These of course have been franked

	You can see the earlier Franks more clearly on the First Day Covers issued with the original (Larger) Halloween and Dead Letter Stamps The Frank used on the Death Of Stamps stamp in 2024 can be seen more clearly on the card insert that came with the Halloween FDC (But this is only an image of the Frank)

	and perhaps I should share an image of the Back of one of the CBEs from 2020 and the Front of the CBEs issued in 2019 (Colin's Brown Envelopes)more recently referred to as "Mixed Bags Of Halloween Stamps"

	Coming back to the Red Dead Letter stamp. At the start of this thread I said the sheet (on sale in the FarFEtchedPhilately Etsy shop) was made up of 11 common stamps with the Skull on the Left side off the mirror and one variant (where the skull has been reflected) but other variants were available in the mixed bags of Halloween stamps. These must be part of a second sheet (but this sheet is unavailable from the FarFetchedPhilately) It must look something like this The positions of the three stamps in row1, the three stamps in row4 and oof course row2col4 must be correct as they have selvage (or are connected to another stamp) This accounts for 5 out of 7variants The reflected skull at row1col3 and row3col3. The Three distinct skulls at row3col4 The Three faint skulls at row1col1 and row1col4 The Two skulls (whole stamp inverted) at row2col4 The Three skulls (whole stamp inverted) at row3col1 But the other two variants could occupy any of the other five positions remaining The Two skulls and the one skull stamp (that has not only been INVERTED but also REFLECTED) Temporarily I’ve placed them at row2col2and row2col3 but these are probably not correct That leaves three places that could be occupied by any of these 7 variants or is there yet another still to be found ? Does anyone have stamps with selvage for row1col2, row2col1, or row3col2 ? or pairs of stamps that show how the sheet is made up or another variant ??

	As I'd posted some images of FRANKED Hands of Fate stamps earlier I thought I ought to share them in mint condition (although they are from 2019) You can play spot the variant if you like. (But I'm not sure if the images are not large enough/too big??)

	Someones been practising their perforating skills..... I think the first stamp comes from the minisheet of mixed variables of the Hand of Fate whereas the second stamp comes from the sheet of 15 Green Hands of Fate stamps that was available from FarFetchedPhilately Not sure why one of the cartouches is BP ??

	Don't know if Steve's had any luck fixing his hardware (hope you had fun in Prague) but I'm hoping he'll share an image of his row1col1 Death of Stamps sheet and I'm hoping that he (or anyone else who bought the stamps !) can share images/information to help us get a more complete picture of the Death of Stamps sheet or the sheets of the two Dead Letter stamps (Red) or (Brown). it would be cool if we could end up with images of these sheets as complete as the one we have for the Death Duty stamp (on page5 of this thread)
